Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz is currently in the United States being worked on after being shot in the back in his native Dominican Republic, but we are still finding out information on what happened and what may have led to this event.
David Ortiz had reportedly been warned that his life was “in danger” prior to Sunday night’s shooting in his hometown of Santo Domingo, D.R.
A report from Diario Libre, one of the leading newspapers in the Dominican Republic, had the details.
The report has been translated from Spanish to English:
“The investigations into the attack against David Ortiz are moving fast. The Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez had already warned this morning that the case did not correspond to a robbery or an action of street violence. Everything pointed to the fact that it was a personal settling of accounts.
Big Papi friends count, asking absolute confidentiality, that they had already warned him of the danger he was running. Ortiz would be seeing a woman, related to a suspect being involved in matters related to the world of drugs.
Despite the warnings from his inner circle, these sources comment, Ortiz continued to frequent the company of the woman. This would have incited crime.”
Daily Mail was the first to break the news of a possible alleged affair between Ortiz and the wife of a drug lord the day after the shooting.
The 10-time MLB All-Star is currently recovering at Mass General in Boston, where he’s believed to be in stable condition and out of danger.
